The late great Jeff Buckley had Latino roots. His mother is Panamanian. So Jeff would have always been invited to the pachangas, parrandas, and carne asadas. 😁

I too listened to that Cameron Winter album every day for months at the start of this year. And got 30$ tickets to see him perform in a 100 seat movie theatre in Boston. Both were highlights of the year. Thanks for the introduction. God is real.

Better for Earnest to Go To Camp than to Go To Jail, or be Scared Stupid. Maybe Earnest will Save Christmas???

Thought to myself on the drive home from Thanksgiving, “it’s almost time to start listening to A Long December”.

Glad to know I’m not the only one thinking about this.

Very thankful for your writing and podcast. But I am especially grateful for you highlighting Greet Death earlier this year. Die In Love has been profoundly meaningful to me this year and I would not have heard of them without you, so thank you so very much. Enjoy your green bean casserole!

I was one of the lucky Buffalonians (an oxymoron indeed, ha!) to score tickets to both nights of the Goo Goo Dolls intimate homecoming shows last week. Iris is forever cannon. Idc how basic a B that makes me. They also played 2 Days in February, whewww. Love everything you take the time and care to post. Tysm4e.
